Why does answers from deployed prompt flow differ from the actual prompt flow?

Question

Hi!

The title says it all. I deployed my prompt flow in Azure Studio UI and when I tried testing it in the "test" tab the answers were not the same as the ones I was getting from the actual prompt flow. Why is that?

Hello Matej Jakubčík,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.

I understand that you are facing an issue where the answers differ between the deployed Prompt Flow from the actual prompt flow.

This issue may occur due to environment differences, where the deployed environment does not fully match the Studio setup, causing variations in responses. Endpoint configuration, such as specific deployment settings or filtered outputs, might also affect behavior. Differences in context management between the Studio and deployment can lead to inconsistencies in responses, while output configuration may limit or modify the fields returned, resulting in discrepancies.

To troubleshoot the issue, start by checking the environment and configuration settings to ensure they are properly aligned. Compare the logs and outputs from both the Studio and the deployed environment to spot any discrepancies. Finally, confirm that all dependencies and settings are correctly defined and consistent across both environments to avoid mismatches that could impact the results.

I hope you understand, do let us know if you any further queries.

Thank you!
